getting a green card through marriage

will depend on whether the person being

sponsored is in the united states or

outside the united states frankly cases

that are being handled outside the

united states meaning

that the case will conclude at a u.s

consulate or embassy overseas

with the applicant being interviewed for

their residency there

is deeply affected by

what has occurred after

the

coven 19 pandemic

embassies were shut down there are

certain things that cannot be controlled

about how

quickly these matters are getting

through so

if the applicant is overseas you should

expect your case to take

a couple years to be resolved if the

applicant for a marriage-based green

card is inside the united states

this can vary but typically you should

expect it to be resolved within about

a year to a year and a half
